Surface-tension-driven flows and, in particular, their tendency to decay spontaneously into
drops have long fascinated naturalists, the earliest systematic experiments dating back to …

In this review, we describe both theoretical and experimental results on the dynamics of
liquid bridges under isothermal conditions with fixed triple contact lines. These two major …

equal‐diameter solid disks subjected to an axial gravity field of arbitrary intensity is analyzed
for all possible liquid volumes. The boundary of the stability region for axisymmetric shapes …

A method for determining the stability of general static capillary surfaces is illustrated by
application to the liquid bridge. Axisymmetric bridges with fixed contact lines under gravity …

In many ways, plumbing is essential to life support. In fact, the advance of humankind on
Earth is directly linked to the advance of clean, healthy, reliable plumbing solutions …

Abstract The IDR/UPM Institute is the research center responsible for the Master in Space
Systems (MUSE) of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM). This is a 2-year (120 ECTS) …

The main characteristics of the non-axisymmetric oscillations of a liquid bridge have been
considered: free frequencies, deformation modes and the influence of an outer liquid …

In this paper the dynamics of axisymmetric liquid columns held by capillary forces between
two circular, concentric, solid disks is considered. The problem has been solved by using a …

The behaviour of confined liquids on board an orbiting spacecraft is mainly driven by surface
tension phenomena, which cause an apparently anomalous response of the liquid when …

In Spain, and most part of Europe, historically, space engineering education was a small
part of a broader aerospace curriculum in aeronautics, dominated by fluid-and structures …
